I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

d16y8 slow death??

Post by civicex2g » October 18, 2003

Well its been around 1 yr that my car has been getting a cel... the cel is "cylinder 3 misfire or random misfire" this all happend after the EXTREME port & polish and the 3 angle valve job that I had done to the car... well car is actually running fine. The cel turns on for about 2 weeks then turns off for another 2 weeks. Well Since the weather is so nice outside these past few days I have been driving around with my windows down, and I noticed that everytime my CeL turns on I get a stench of gas.... just pure gasoline... this only happens when the cel turns on, after its on or turns off its fine.

Just wondering if anybody might help.

Gratcies
